It has now been a year since I stepped on land after completing my solo row across the Atlantic ocean. It was a journey that took me over 3000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua over the course of 59 days, 16 hours and 36 minutes. It was brutal but absolutely brilliant. Here are 10 weird and wonderful things that happened on my journey.

As a team deeply rooted in the spirit of adventure, we have experienced firsthand the profound benefits that come from pushing our limits, embracing uncertainty, and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the natural world. Therefore, we are delighted to share that we will be raising money for The Outward Bound Trust, through our journey to row across the Pacific Ocean.

A full year has passed since the exhilarating moment when my crew and I crossed the finish line of the World's Toughest Row in 2022, completing the daunting 42-day journey across the Atlantic. The memory of our arrival in English Harbour, Antigua on January 23, 2023, is still as vivid and gratifying as if it unfolded just yesterday. Reflecting on this remarkable achievement, the overwhelming pride from conquering what stands as the most significant challenge in my life persists in my memories.

Back in 2019, after a freezing rowing session on the Clyde in Glasgow, I jokingly said, 'Anyone want to row an ocean with me?' Little did I know that this offhand remark would spark my interest in ocean rowing.

I’m so excited to now be a part of team Seas the Day alongside Mims and Lottie who provide nothing but the best company with their positive attitude and relentless drive to live each day to its fullest. The Pacific Ocean will be tough, but our team spirit will carry us through its challenges.
